ART is rumored to run around $300.
You'll need Dirac Live FB & Dirac Live Bass Control.
That bundle runs $600, that's $900!
I highly recommend looking into A1EVO, very likely you won't need Dirac especially for $900, many are finding out it's a game changer!
Worked for me. Thank you for this!
I don't know what DSP is in the PAC AVRs (RZ50, etc.) but based on the issues they're having with DLBC, lets just say I don't have a lot of confidence ART is showing up for them. As being able to perform DLBC is a requirement for ART, this rules out the following AVRs that have the base Dirac license:
Onkyo 7100
Integra DRX 3.4
Pioneer 305
Pioneer 505 (never got DLBC and the brand appears to be orphaned)

1) already mainstream
2) relevant to the equipment I'm connecting to it
This is why I never rushed to buy an AVR when they all became compatible with active 3D TVs!
The fact that the 3800 will be compatible w/Dirac ART is just gravy as a super unadvertised feature!
